David Wilcox (canadian) Breakfast At The Circus Lyrics

Breakfast At The Circus Lyrics

I woke up this morning and prayed to the gypsy rose lady



"Gypsy can you help me I'm struggling you see."



I heard her laughing over by the slot machine



She said, "Baby, baby, baby, I had the strangest dream."







Having breakfast at the circus



With the lions and the clowns



Everybody's laughing just hanging around



But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down



Breakfast at the cirucs with the lions and the clowns







People walking a tightrope



Head in the lion's jaws 



They need a little mercy



So come on Santa Claus



And when you give your mercy



Won't you save a drop for us



We'll remember you, and your family too when they get us on the bus







Having breakfast at the circus



With the lions and the clowns



Everybody's laughing just hanging around



But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down



Breakfast at the cirucs with the lions and the clowns







My ears are ringing and my mind is a mess



Give me one goodnight kiss



To help me forget the past







Wooh what a party



Everyone was there



Great to see you where've you been?



Hey who does your hair?



Free balloons and hats and soon the seal will catch a ball



And after that the acrobat will try to top the show







Having breakfast at the circus



With the lions and the clowns



Everybody's laughing just hanging around



But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down



Breakfast at the circus with the lions and the clowns
